Hi, You Burshears lookers might check out the Joseph and William Brashears families of early Kentucky........some were in Nelson Co. in the 1700s, others moved on to Breckinridge and Daviess Counties.....Richard was a fairly common name in the family. I'd guess it's probably the same family......they originated in Maryland. Sally...........KASEY FARLEY EMILY EMLY DUNCAN BRASHEARS BROOKS and many, many others....
